Apple Zen Support Thread

I finally found it!!

In stylesheet.css:
#dropMenuWrapper {
width:100%;

width was turned to 70em. After changing it to 100% the drop menu fell into place!

Am getting a few CSS errors in FireFox (v2.0.0.12) using 'Error Console'
I can get some info and line# to see where its coming from but cant
(knowledge failure :blush:) figure out the case.

have a looksy at the file, error msg then the code at that line #;

file=stylesheet.css
"Error in Parsing value for property 'display. Declaration dropped.'"

.clearfix {display: inline-block;}

Dreamweaver tags 'inline-block' as a code error also

file=stylesheet_header_menu.css
"Uknown property 'behavior'. Declaration dropped."

body {  
	behavior: url(includes/csshover.htc);
	}

verified that csshover is in /includes/csshover.htc

anyone have any idea on this?

the logo is: http://latter.com/includes/templates/cherry_zen/images/latter_packaging_equipments.gif

Please help a newbie...

How do you rename Categories in the dropdown menu?
(ex: changing 'CATEGORIES' to 'SHOP ONLINE').

I've tried going here per another thread, but no changes show on the front end.
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php
What am I doing wrong?

Also, the INFORMATION tab links to the main/home page by default. What do I need to do to point it to another page?

thanks.

right file, right place, make sure you are getting that file uploaded to see the changes on your server?
/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/apple_zen/headermenu.php

OK, got it. I was using the File Manager are of my hosting control panel, but when I used a text editor it worked fine.

thanks.

The "greyish box" and white background isn't your only problem, you should view your site in more browsers then IE!

I suggest validating, and creating for FireFox as most other browsers will resimble what you see in the FireFox browser.

You've got a lot to fix before I'd worry about the white (some of the error's might actually point you to the right area for fixing the white spaces), check this out: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fphotographysisters.com%2Findex.php%3Fmain_page << that link will show you all the errors that are in your CSS Code.

But here is your answer (I still suggest fixing your errors though)
Original Code:

.centerColumn {
        	width:75%;
	float:left;
	margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
	text-align:left;
	line-height:1.6em;
	display:inline; /* fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove */
	}

Corrected Code Change to get rid of the white space in the center of your website:

.centerColumn {
         background:#000000;
	width:75%;
	float:left;
	margin:0 2% 2% 3%;
	text-align:left;
	line-height:1.6em;
	display:inline; /* fixes IE Bug in IE6 and earlier - do not remove */
	}

and then you need to change (this is near the top of your style sheet):

#navEZPagesTopWrapper{
	background:#E9E9E9;
	}

To:

#navEZPagesTopWrapper{
	background:#000000;
	}

This code change above gets rid of the white bar between your site name and your "pink" drop down menu.

I have changed the font color to Red to help you spot the changes I am suggesting for your fix.

Could I see a link please? This doesn't happen on a default install of apple zen.

There are instructions in the readme.txt on how to remove the sidebox, in the TIPS section, #7.

It looks like you got the logo working. Now to change the sidebox background from grey to blue, you have to change the image includes/templates/apple_zen/images/content_bg.gif

You have to change the grey to blue there, and re-upload it.

These can just be ignored.

Thank you so much for all the help! I made some progress; however, I still have 2 grey bars on either side I would like to get rid of!

I also printed out the w3c css validator errors for the site....I'm not sure I will understand any of it or how to fix it though, but I will definately look through it.

We will also check out the other browsers...never thought of that.

Thanks for the help!

Hallo jettrue, thanks for your help :cool:

Here is the link: https://www.lamorhada.com/catalog
As I said, I found the pulldown menu moved to right in internet explorer...

I have been testing and looks as if in internet explorer the navigation heather where categopries drop down is floating to the right.....

I have been looking in the suport forum and found that the problem could have been in stilesheet.php where the size of the heather should be 100% an not 71 em.... I chec hed and this looked to be allright.

Maby I have been changing somenthing in stilesheet and I can solve it By replaicing with the original... Thanks for any idea

Hello, jettrue, I'm also having a problem with Internet Explorer.

When I turn off category tabs (Admin > configuration > layout settings > Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF > off), in IE7 not only does the category-tabs list disappear but also the applezen drop menu. However, the dropdown remains in Firefox, which is what I want.

Then when I attempt to modify tpl_modules_categories_tabs.php by commenting out the echo...

  <li><!--?php echo $links_list[$i];?--></li>

...the apple zen drop down menu stays in Internet Explorer but moves to the top and covers the Home, Login links and the Search apparatus.

**Any suggestion how to kill the category listing but keep the apple zen drop down menu so IE7 looks the same as Firefox? **

FWIW, ideally, I want the drop down menu to be above the logo and the home, login links and search box.

And undo that commenting of the echo you did, that isn't correct php syntax either way.

Try changing this section (remove the last */ also):

#dropMenuWrapperc {
	background:url(../images/shadowRight.png) repeat-y 100% 0;
	width:71em;
	margin:0 auto;
	position:absolute;
	height:2.18em;
	}

#dropMenuWrapperd {
	background:url(../images/shadowLeft.png) repeat-y 0 0;
	width:71em;
	margin:0 auto;
	position:absolute;
	height:2.18em;
	}
[B]*/[/B]

to this:

#dropMenuWrapperc {
	background:url(../images/shadowRight.png) repeat-y 100% 0;
	width:71em;
	margin:0 auto;
	position:absolute;
	height:2.18em;
       [B] left:0;[/B]
	}

#dropMenuWrapperd {
	background:url(../images/shadowLeft.png) repeat-y 0 0;
	width:71em;
	margin:0 auto;
	position:absolute;
	height:2.18em;
       [B] left:0;[/B]
	}

Thanks for the quick reply!

Since I'm using all original files, I removed the php code entirely between the <li>tags</li>. I keep forgetting IE bonks on quickie php uncommenting. So, Voila, now IE7 shows the drop menu as it appears in Firefox. Thanks!

Still don't know why the admin panel OFF switch is affecting Internet Explorer. I'm working from both original 1.3.7.1 and original Apple Zen files as I do a proper rebuild of my site. Thus far, in addition to whatever admin panel changes I've made, the only other edits are to color, fonts, padding and margin in the CSS. That was my first edit to any core code, Apple or Cart, and unfortunately, it's the only way I can get IE7 to cooperate. C'est la vie.
